Prayers  for  Use  in  Auxiliary  Meetings. 


O  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST,  who  in  the  day  of  Thy  flesh  didst  ac- 
cept the  services  of  faithful  women,  who  administered  unto  Thee  in 
their  substance;  Be  pleased,  we  humbly  ask,  to  bless  our  endeavors 
to  aid  and  encourage  missionaries.  Put  into  our  hearts  the  things 
we  should  do  and  say  to  promote  Thy  glory.  Grant  that  we  may 
never  be  discouraged  under  difficulties,  but  go  forward  with  faith 
and  hope  looking  unto  Thee.  Have  pity  on  those  who  know  Thee 
not,  on  those  who  are  far  from  the  Church  of  their  fathers  in  a 
strange  land;  visit  them  with  Thy  salvation  and  grant  that  they 
may  be  speedily  brought  to  acknowledge  Thee  as  their  Lord  and 
Master  Christ.  Hear  us,  and  answer  this  our  prayer,  for  Thine 
own  name's  sake.     AMEN. 

O  GOD,  who  hast  made  of  one  blood  all  nations  of  men  for  to 
dwell  on  the  face  of  the  whole  earth,  and  didst  send  Thy  blessed 
Son  to  preach  peace  to  them  that  are  far  off  and  to  them  that  are 
high;  Grant  that  all  men  everywhere  may  seek  after  Thee  and  find 
Thee.  Bring  all  nations  into  thy  fold,  and  add  the  heathen  to 
Thine  inheritance.  And  we  pray  Thee  to  shortly  accomplish  the 
number  of  Thine  elect,  and  hasten  Thy  kingdom,  through  the  same 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.     AMEN. 

O  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST,  who  didst  charge  Thine  Apostles  that 
they  should  preach  the  gospel  to  every  nation;  Make  us  to  show 
our  gratitude  for  Thy  benefits  by  earnestness  in  fulfilling  Thy  com- 
mand. Prosper  all  missions,  both  at  home  and  abroad,  with  an  in- 
crease of  sanctity,  that  they  may  win  many  to  the  acknowledg- 
ment of  Thy  truth   (especially  those  in ),  and  give  them  all 

things  needful  for  their  work,  making  them  to  be  centers  of  spirit- 
ual life,  to  the  quickening  of  many  souls  and  the  glory  of  Thy  Holy 
Name,  our  only  Mediator  and  Advocate.     AMEN. 

HEAVENLY  FATHER,  we  pray  Thee  to  bless  us  and  all  mem- 
bers of  the  Junior  Auxiliary,  with  wisdom,  zeal  and  constancy,  in 
our  work  for  Thee.  Prosper  the  Missions  of  Thy  Holy  Church,  and 
strengthen  with  the  Holy  Spirit  all  who  are  engaged  in  missionary 
work;   through  Jesus  Christ,  our  Lord.     AMEN. 

DIRECT  us,  O  Lord,  in  all  our  doings  with  Thy  gracious  favour, 
and  further  us  with  Thy  continued  help  that  in  our  works  begun, 
continued  and  ended  in  Thee,  we  may  glorify  Thy  Holy  Name,  and 
finally  by  Thy  mercy  obtain  everlasting  life,  through  Jesus  Christ, 
our  Lord.     AMEN. 

NOONDAY     PKAYER     FOR     MISSIONS. 

BLESSED  SAVIOR,  who  at  this  hour  didst  hang  upon  the  cross, 
stretching  forth  Thy  loving  arms,  grant  that  all  mankind  may  look 
upon  Thee  and  be  saved;  through  Thy  mercy  and  merits  who  ftvest 
and  reignest  with  the  Father  and  the  Holy  Ghost,  ever  one  God, 
world  without  end.     AMEN.

MINUTES 

of  the 

TWENTY-FOURTH  ANNUAL  MEETING. 


The  Twenty-fourth  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Woman's  Aux- 
iliary and  Fourth  Meeting  of  the  Parochial  Society  of  the 
Diocese  of  East  Carolina  was  held  in  St.  John's  Parish,  Fay- 
etteville,  N.  0.,  May  23,  1911. 

Corporate  Communion  was  had  at  7  :30  a.  m.,  the  cele- 
brant being  the  Rev.  B.  F.  Huske,  of  New  Bern,  assisted  by 
the  Rev.  Charles  Noyes  Tyndall,  the  Rector  of  the  Parish. 
At  this  time  the  Annual  Offering  known  as  the  Bishop's 
Fund  for  Diocesan  Missions  was  placed  on  the  altar. 

The  meeting  was  called  to  order  by  the  President,  Mrs. 
Nathaniel  Harding,  of  Washington,  in  the  Parish  House, 
at  10 :00  a.  m.  After  singing  the  hymn,  "Fling  out  the 
Banner,"  the  Chaplain,  Rev.  B.  F.  Huske,  opened  with 
prayer  and  made  the  annual  address,  in  wdiich  he  stated  that 
women  were  always  ready  to  respond  when  they  understood 
what  they  were  to  do,  and  that  every  Auxiliary  should  see 
that  every  other  woman  be  given  the  opportunity  to  join  in 
this  great  work,  and  then  some  day  the  Woman's  Auxiliary 
in  East  Carolina  would  no  doubt  grow  to  such  proportion, 
and  the  work  done  so  great,  that  it  would  of  necessity  have  to 
stand  alone  under  its  own  individual  banner. 

After  singing  the  hymn,  "From  Greenland's  Icy  Moun- 
tain," Mrs.  F.  R.  Rose  made  an  address,  welcoming  us  to 
Fayetteville.  This  was  responded  to  by  Miss  Dail,  of  New 
Bern,  in  behalf  of  the  visitors. 

The  President  then  called  the  meeting  to  order  for  busi- 
ness, and  roll  call  showed  81  delegates  and  visitors  present 
She  expressed  regret  that  Mrs.  Woodley,  of  Kinston,  had 
found  it  necessary  to  resign  her  position  as  Vice-President 
of  the  Convocation  of  New  Bern,  after  which  she  introduced 
the  new  officers — Mrs.  Nixon  Davis,  Vice-President  of  the 
Convocation  of  Wilmington ;  Mrs.  H.  M.  Bonner,  Vice-Presi- 
dent of  the  Convocation  of  New  Bern,  and  Mrs.  W.  E.  Cox, 
Recording  Secretary. 

Mrs.  J.  G.  Staton  then  read  the  report  of  the  Convocation 


8  Diocese  of  East  Carolina. 

of  Edenton,  which  showed  activity  in  all  branches  and  high 
per  centage  of  attendance,  especially  among  the  Juniors.  She 
reported  work  done  in  Mission  Study  and  taking  of  Church 
papers,  and  urged  each  of  her  branches  to  take  the  Spirit  of 
Missions  and  use  it  in  their  meetings. 

Mrs.  H.  M.  Bonner  read  the  report  of  New  Bern  Convoca- 
tion which  showed  marked  increase  in  the  whole  field.  She 
had  visited  nearly  all  of  the  branches  personally,  and  urged 
each  one  not  to  be  content  until  one  hundred  per  cent  of  our 
women  belonged  to  the  Auxiliary.  By  her  earnestness  and 
enthusiasm  she  made  us  feel  that  we  were  glad  to  be  here  and 
to  have  had  a  part  in  the  work. 

Mrs.  Nixon  Davis  then  gave  an  interesting  account  of  the 
work  done  in  the  Convocation  of  Wilmington,  and  reported 
advance  and  interest  everywhere. 

The  report  of  the  Diocesan  Secretary  Miss  Sue  Collier 
showed  that  the  amount,  $400.00,  for  General  Missions  had 
been  given,  also  the  largest  gift  ever  made  towards  the  Clergy 
Relief  Fund  and  generous  sums  to  other  objects. 

The  Treasurer,  Mrs.  George  H.  Roberts,  of  New  Bern,  by 
her  report  showed  that  the  offerings  were  larger  than  ever 
before. 

The  amount  of  the  Bishop's  Fund  was  then  announced  to  be 
$319.50.  This  is  the  largest  amount  yet  given.  This  news 
was  received  with  enthusiasm  and  the  Doxology  was  imme- 
diately sung. 

Mrs.  Joshua  James,  the  Diocesan  Treasurer  of  the  United 
Offering,  reported  increased  interest  and  increased  offerings., 
She  urged  again  the  appointing  of  a  separate  Treasurer  for 
the  United  Offering  who  should  go  to  every  woman  in  the 
Parish  and  give  each  one  an  opportunity  to  know  about  this 
offering — for  knowing  means  that  giving  will  follow.  The 
Bishops  say  that  this  offering  is  the  greatest  blessing  that 
comes  to  them.  Then  what  a  joy  it  is  to  feel  that  we  at  least 
have  a  share  in  it. 

Mrs.  H.  M.  Bonner  reported  for  Miss  Roberts,  of  New 
Bern,  that  she  had  tried  to  arouse  interest  in  the  Church  Pe- 
riodical Club  but  had  failed. 

Airs.  Harding  in  her  address  reported  that  pledges  had 
been  sent  in  more  promptly  than  ever  before,  and  that  our 
offerings  for  all  purposes  had  increased.  She  especially  urged 
the  Study  of  Missions  and  the  Bible  among  all  women,  par- 
ticularly that  such  classes  be  gotten  up  for  those  who  are  too 


Woman's  Auxiliary  to  Board  of  Missions.  9 

old  for  the  Juniors  and  too  young  for  the  Woman's  Auxiliary. 
She  then  read  a  letter  from  Miss  Emery  stating  that  only 
about  twenty  per  cent,  of  the  women  of  our  churehes  are  di- 
rectly interested  in  the  Mission  work  and  urged  personal  work 
that  our  numbers  may  be  doubled  and  quadrupled  another 
year. 

The  suggestion  of  Miss  Emery  that  only  the  work  sent 
through  the  General  Missions  House  should  be  published  in 
her  report,  but  that  all  work  should  be  published  in  our  Coun- 
cil report,  after  some  discussion,  was  put  to  vote  and  unani- 
mously carried.  Should  the  majority  of  the  Auxiliaries  adopt 
her  suggestion,  and  it  becomes  the  rule,  then  only  such  work 
as  is  apportioned  or  asked  for  by  Miss  Emery  will  be  put  in 
her  report.  All  work,  of  whatever  kind  and  wherever  sent, 
will  be  put  as  heretofore  in  our  annual  report,  which  is  sent 
as  usual  to  Miss  Collier,  Diocesan  Secretary.  All  money 
must  be  sent  through  our  Treasurer,  Mrs.  George  H.  Roberts, 
of  New  Bern. 

Pause  was  here  made  for  noon-day  prayer  led  by  the  Bishop 
of  the  Diocese,  after  which,  in  a  few  words  of  encouragement, 
he  urged  us  k'to  do  great  things  for  God  and  expect  great 
things  from  God." 

Also,  he  wished  the  matter  of  Parochial  obligations  clearly 
understood.  That  in  Annual  meetings  of  the  Council,  the 
Parochial  Society  and  Auxiliary  are  one,  but  outside  of  their 
Parochial  work,  the  only  obligations  ruling  upon  Parochial 
Societies  was  that  to  the  Bishop's  Fund  and  that  to  the  Cen- 
tral Fund. 

This  year  we  are  asked  to  give  $600.00  for  the  Bishop's 
Fund,  $300.00  of  which  is  for  Hope  Mills,  $200.00  for  Bur- 
gawr,  and  $100.00  for  a  horse  and  buggy  for  the  Missionary 
in  Hyde  County. 

$207.00  of  the  Bishop's  Fund  was  used  to  complete  the 
$500  asked  for  by  the  Bishop  last  year  for  Hope  Mills,  $100 
was  also  given  him  for  the  Missionary  in  Hyde  County;  and 
we  have  no  fear  of  having  the  amounts  asked  for  Hope  Mills 
and  Burgaw,  in  our  offering  at  the  next  Council.  He  con- 
gratulated the  Societies  on  the  fact  that  most  of  the  funds 
this  vear  had  been  sent  through  the  Treasurer,  Mrs.  George 
IT.  Roberts,  as  requested. 

Rev.  J.  H.  Griffith,  of  Kinston,  then  came  before  the  meet- 
ing and  asked  for  the  gift  of  a  font  for  the  little  church  in 
Farmville.  Mrs.  H.  M.  Bonner  was  then  recognized  and

asked  that  the  Convocation  of  New  Bern  assume  the  respon- 
■  sibility  of  purchasing  this  font  as  it  was  for  a  church  in  their 
Convocation.  A  voluntary  offering  of  $10  wras  given  by  Mrs. 
limes,  of  Kinston,  $5  from  Mrs.  Martin  Willard,  of  Wil- 
mington, and  $1  by  Mrs.  Xixon,  of  Hertford. 

The  Rev.  W.  J.  Smith,  of  the  Thompson  Orphanage,  of 
^Charlotte,  came  before  us  to  thank  us  for  past  efforts  in  be- 
half of  the  Orphanage  and  asked  us  to  continue  our  good 
work ;  and  he  especially  urged  every  one  sending  boxes  to 
have* their  names  written  on  them  plainly  that  they  may  be 
acknowledged.  Our  President  then  told  him  that  next  year 
we  were  to  give  him  $200 — $100  of  which  was  for  the  Build- 
ing Fund. 

Mrs.  W.  E.  Cox  then  spoke  interestingly  of  the  great  Jubi- 
lee Meetings  that  have  been  held  all  over  this  country — the 
purpose  of  them  and  the  great  good  that  they  had  accom- 
plished. 

Mrs.  Nixon  Davis  told  of  the  Study  classes  that  had  been 
Leld  in  Wilmington  during  Lent  and  the  great  help  they  had 
been  in  many  ways,  and  the  interest  they  had  aroused. 

Mrs.  Harding  announced  that  Miss  Lindley,  assistant  to 
Miss  Emery,  would  be  in  the  Diocese  this  fall  to  have  a  Study 
class  for  the  leaders,  the  arrangements  of  which  would  be 
made  later. 

The  reports  were  then  called  for. 

In  the  Round  Table  discussion  which  followed  some  helpful 
suggestions  were  brought  out. 

First.     What  is  the  first  obligation  of  the  Auxiliary? 

Idle  apportionment  to  the  Board  of  Missions  is  the  first 
obligation  of  the  Auxiliary  and  should  be  so  considered  and 
provided  for  before  anything  else. 

Second.  I  low  can  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  in  smaller  towns 
help  the  young  boy  '( 

in  small  towns,  having  no  Y.  M.  C.  A.  or  St.  Andrew's 
Brotherhood,  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  might  wisely  adopt 
some  of  the  methods  of  these  organizations  such  as,  the  weekly 
gathering  together  of  the  boys  into  a  Study  Class  either  of 
Missions,  the  Bible,  or  the  lives  of  the  heroes  of  the  Church; 
the  holding  of  the  offices  by  the  boys  themselves,  with  only  one 
or  two  older  people  to  suggest  and  encourage  the  free  and 
unrestrained  discussion  of  the  subject  in  hand  by  the  boys; 
allowing  them  to  plan  and  conduct  their  own  meetings  of 
prayer,  reading,  talk  and  song  service;  above  all,  impressing 


Woman's  Auxiliary  to  Board  of  Missions.         11 

upon  them  the  thought  that  they  are  to  seek  out  and  bring 
into  their  band  other  boys. 

Third.  What  is  the  best  way  to  arouse  interest  and  increase 
attendance  at  meetings  % 

Choose  a  leader,  who  is  earnest  and  capable,  and  a  friend 
to  every  member.  Select  a  Secretary  who  is  prompt  in  at- 
tendance and  careful  in  every  detail  of  the  work.  Plan  care- 
fully after  getting  the  expressed  wishes  of  every  member  as 
to  work  to  be  done.  An  occasional  social  feature  would  be 
helpful.  A  very  necessary  way  is  to  feel  that  you  are  needed 
at  every  meeting  and  that  you  are  responsible  for  the  attend- 
ance of  at  least  one  member. 

It  was  moved  and  seconded  that  with  rising  vote  we  express 
our  sympathy  to  Miss  Alice  Mallett  in  her  sickness,  and  our 
regret  at  her  absence. 

Mrs.  Cox,  in  behalf  of  our  President,  officers,  delegates  and 
visitors,  expressed  to  the  people  of  Fayetteville  their  sincere 
appreciation  of  their  unbounded  hospitality,  their  many  kind- 
nesses shown  to  us,  and  the  help  and  inspiration  that  these 
meetings  had  brought  to  each  one. 

After  the  reading  of  the  minutes  the  Meeting  adjourned  to 
meet  next  year  at  the  same  time  and  place  designated  by  the 
Council  of  East  Carolina. 

Mrs.  Wm.  E.  Cox, 
Recording  Secretary. 


Meeting  of  the  Board  of  Officers. 


The  Board  of  Officers  met  in  St.  John's  Parish  House, 
Fayetteville,  K  C,  Monday,  May  22. 

At  ten  o'clock  the  meeting  was  called  to  order  and  opened 
with  prayer.  Mrs.  Nathaniel  Harding,  Mrs.  James  Staton, 
Mrs.  C.  H.  Bonner,  Mrs.  1ST.  K  Davis,  Mrs.  George  Roberts 
and  Mrs.  Josh  James  were  present.  "A  rule  of  order"  for 
meetings,  was  read  and  adopted.  Parochial  reports  were  next 
considered  and  it  was  decided,  that  these  reports  shall  be 
called  for  at  Parochial  Meetings,  during  the  Annual  meeting, 
and  that  Parochial  gifts  to  Missions  are  voluntary,  obligatory 
only  towards  the  Bishop's  and  Central  Fund.  A  pledge  of 
two  hundred  dollars  (one  for  general  expenses  the  other  to- 
wards the  Building  Fund),  was  made  for  Thompson  Orphan- 


12  Diocese  of  East  Carolina. 

age  and  we  are  asked  to  contribute  towards  St.  Agnes'  Hos- 
pital. 

Mrs.  Bonner  called  atention  to  the  needs  of  the  Church  at 
Oriental,  Aurora  and  Edward.  It  was 

Resolved,  That  hereafter  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  shall  have  a  page 
devoted  to  Woman's  work  in  the  Diocesan  Church  paper.  Also  that 
the  General  Auxiliary  Report  be  more  limited  and  that  five  hundred 
dollars  should  be  given  towards  General  Missions. 

To  arouse  interest  in  Study  Classes  that  Miss  Grace  Lindly 
be  invited  to  visit  the  Diocese  this  Fall,  making  New  Bern 
her    headquarters. 

The  hour  for  the  Parochial  meeting  was  reached  and  the 
meeting  adjourned.  Sue  E.  Collter, 


Meeting  of  the  Parochial  Society. 


The  Conference  of  the  Woman's  Parochial  Society  was 
held  in  the  Parish  House  of  St.  John's,  Fayetteville,  N.  C, 
May  22,  1911;  at  11 :00  a.  m.,  presided  over  by  Mrs.  Nixon 
Davis,  Vice-President  of  the  Convocation  of  Wilmington. 

Meeting  was  opened  by  the  singing  of  hymn,  "Go  forward 
Christian  Soldiers,"  which  was  followed  by  prayer. 

Each  Parish  Society  was  called  upon  to  give  an  account  of 
their  year's  work  and  to  read  their  report.  Each  one  repre- 
sented showed  work  well  done  and  progress  made. 

At  12  o'clock  the  Rev.  Mr.  Claiborne,  of  Sewanee,  came 
in  and  conducted  the  noon-day  prayer.  Mr.  Claiborne  is  a 
missionary  in  the  mountains  of  Tennessee  and  came  to  this 
meeting  to  put  before  it  the  claims  of  the  "University  of  the 
South".  He  made  a  strong,  earnest  appeal,  not  only  for  funds 
but  for  the  mothers  to  realize  that  here  is  the  place  for  them 
to  send  their  sons,  where  their  academic  work  can  go  hand  in 
hand  with  their  own  Church's  teaching  and  training. 

After  this  appeal  the  remainder  of  the  reports  were  read, 
at  the  close  of  which  the  meeting  adjourned.

THE  PRESIDENT'S  ADDRESS. 

As  I  told  you  last  year,  there  is  very  little  for  me  to  say  after  hear- 
ing the  splendid  reports  from  the  other  officers.  I  must  congratu- 
late all  on  the  way  the  pledges  have  been  met  the  past  year,  it  is 
really  the  first  time  our  apportionment  has  been  met  in  full  and 
on  time.  It  was  suggested  from  the  Missions  House  that  we  give 
$495.00,  and  already  $516.55  has  passed  through  the  hands  of  our 
Treasurer.  The  amounts  asked  for  by  the  Bishop  for  St.  Cyprian's 
Church,  New  Bern,  and  St.  Agnes'  Hospital,  Raleigh,  have  been 
exceeded.  There  has  been  given  for  Hope  Mills  Parish  House  from 
the  several  branches,  $283.30.  We  can  easily  increase  this  to  $500.00 
from  our  collection  this  morning.  We  have  given  more  to  the 
Thompson  Orphanage  than  ever  before,  and  I  hope  another  year 
we  will  double  it,  or  give  a  large  sum  on  one  of  the  new  buildings 
so  much  needed.  At  the  officers'  meeting  yesterday  it  was  re- 
solved to  give  at  least  $200.00  for  this  purpose  next  year.  There 
seems  to  have  been  much  interest  shown  in  every  branch  of  our 
work,  and  I  hear  of  enthusiasm  all  over  the  Diocese.  I  attended 
a  Woman's  meeting  during  the  Convocation  of  Edenton  at  William- 
ston,  in  November  and  one  at  Aurora  in  January  at  the  Convocation 
of  New  Bern.  Both  were  well  attended,  all  showing  interest  and 
striving  for  better  things.  Many  branches  have  had  Study  Classes, 
with  good  results  from  all,  especially  so  in  Wilmington,  where  a 
class  was  taught  early  in  the  winter,  and  each  of  that  class  in  turn 
was  leader  in  a  class  during  Lent.  In  this  matter  we  have  made 
a  great  step  forward,  and  I  hope  for  further  progress  another  year. 

We  hear  of  several  new  branches  of  the  Woman's  Auxiliary,  and 
other  Societies,  Seniors  and  Juniors,  in  all  three  Convocations. 
This  increased  interest  is  to  be  expected  in  the  year  of  our  great 
Triennial,  and  added  to  that  the  meetings  of  the  "Woman's  Foreign 
Missionary  Jubilee",  which  is  exerting  an  influence,  that  makes  us 
all,  though  only  able  to  read  about  them,  long  to  do  more,  and 
makes  us  realize  our  great  responsibility  and  feel  that  we  fall  far 
short  of  other  workers.  Perhaps  some  of  you  have  read  in  the  May 
"Spirit  of  Missions,"  of  the  solitary  woman  worker  in  Alaska,  who 
wrote  to  the  Missions  House,  that  she  wanted  a  share  in  the 
Jubilee,  and  said  please  add  fifty  dollars  from  my  stipend  to  the 
fund  for  foreign  missions.  Can't  we  follow  her  noble  example  and 
send  a  gift  for  Foreign  Missions,  that  we  too  may  have  a  share  in 
the  "Jubilee"?  There  is  being  made  in  every  Diocese  a  great  effort 
to  interest  the  young  women  and  larger  girls  in  missionary  work 
by  forming  them  into  Study  Classes  and  Branches  of  the  Junior 
Auxiliary.  This  is  the  work  of  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  and  if  a  few 
of  us  even  one  in  a  Parish,  would  gather  some  of  these  young  wo- 
men, ten,  twelve  or  less,  into  a  circle  or  class  and  help  them  learn 
more  of  the  Bible,  and  more  of  the  Mission  Field  and  the  self-deny- 
ing workers,  though  we  give  not  a  penny,  we  could  feel  that  we

were  engaged  in  God's  work  and  when  the  interest  is  aroused  the 
pennies  will  begin  to  come,  but  the  effort  must  be  to  arouse  interest 
in  these  young  women,  who  are  too  old  for  the  Juniors,  and  feel 
too  young  for  the  Woman's  Auxiliary,  that  they  may  feel  the  desire 
to  help  the  coming  of  the  Kingdom. 

MRS.  NATHANIEL  HARDING. 


CONVOCATION  OF  EDENTON. 

Only  one  Convocation  has  been  held  during  this  year — that  in 
November  at  Williamston.  It  is  with  a  feeling  of  pride  that  I  report 
the  meeting  most  helpful  and  enthusiastic.  At  the  Junior  meeting 
25  delegates  were  present  while  the  Woman's  meeting  showed  36 
in  attendance. 

At  this  time  the  Juniors  were  given  a  separate  meeting  which 
they  improved  by  helpful  papers  and  reports. 

There  is  a  marked  improvement  in  the  number  of  study  classes. 
During  the  winter  and  Lent  nearly  every  Parish  studied  the  Acts. 
The  reports  are  most  favorable.  All  derived  great  benefit  from  the 
studies.  In  the  Parishes  where  Mr.  Matthews  held  missions  special 
Bible  studies  were  followed  with  interest. 

In  every  Parish  there  are  subscribers  to  the  Carolina  Churchman; 
some  to  the  Southern  Churchman  and  the  Churchman.  With  few  ex- 
ceptions the  Spirit  of  Missions  is  in  every  Parish.  To  those  who  are 
not  subscribers  to  the  Spirit  of  Missions  I  would  suggest  that  it  be 
taken  by  the  Auxiliary  and  passed  around  among  the  members  and 
the  articles  discussed  at  the  meetings. 

Belhaven  has  organized  an  Auxiliary  which  is  a  step  forward  for 
missions  and  another  year  we  will  have  a  full  report  from  them. 

In  contribution  to  the  United  Offering  Washington  has  second 
place  in  the  Dioceses  and  Williamston  is  third. 

The  average  attendance  at  the  home  meetings  I  found  to  be  as 
follows:  Bath,  75  per  cent.;  Columbia,  50  per  cent;  Creswell,  60 
per  cent.;  Hertford,  40  per  cent.;  Murfreesboro,  75  per  cent.;  Ply- 
mouth, 60  per  cent.;  Roper,  50  per  cent.;  Washington,  40  per  cent.; 
Williamston,  50  per  cent.;  Windsor,  60  per  cent.;  Winton,  90  per 
cent.,  and  Zion,  50  per  cent.,  making  an  average  of  58  per  cent,  for 
the  Convocation  of  Edenton. 

The  Juniors  attend  their  meetings  better  than  the  women;  let 
us  hope  such  good  habits  will  continue  when  they  are  advanced  to 
the  Woman's  Auxiliary. 

The  Work  of  the  Convocation  is  going  smoothly;  apportionments 
are  met  and  the  Parochial  work  becoming  more  efficient  each  year. 

The  response  to  all  calls  has  been  hearty,  and  with  such  faithful 
co-operation  one  feels  that  the  Master's  Kingdom  will  come. 
Respectfully  submitted, 

MRS.  JAMES   STATON. 


Woman's  Auxiliary  to  Board  of   Missions.         15 

CONVOCATION  OF  NEW   BERN. 

Having  been  one  of  your  Vice-Presidents  for  so  short  a  time,  I 
feel  that  my  report  is  not  what  it  might  be,  certainly  not  what  it 
should  be.  Having  been  but  one  of  a  band  of  workers  in  one  of 
our  Societies,  and  not  having  studied  the  work  prior  to  my  appoint- 
ment as  I  should  have,  and  appreciating  now,  my  limited  knowledge 
of  the  work,  I  feel  that  I  can  not  report  so  much  work  done  as  I 
might  otherwise. 

Since  the  first  of  January  at  which  time  I  was  appointed  Vice- 
President  of  the  Convocation  of  New  Bern,  two  new  Auxiliaries 
have  been  organized,  and  one  old  one  revived.  The  new  ones  being 
the  Auxiliary  at  Oriental,  and  at  All  Saints'  Chapel,  New  Bern. 

The  Auxiliary  at  Vanceboro  having  been  reorganized,  there  are 
now  in  the  Convocation  of  New  Bern  29  Societies  under  the  auspices 
of  the  Church:  12  being  branches  of  the  Woman's  Auxiliary,  13 
Parochial  Societies,  two  Altar  Guilds,  one  Girls'  Friendly,  and  one 
Chapter  of  The  Daughters  of  the  King.  Last  year  only  19  were 
reported;  there  were  others,  however,  which  did  not  report,  one  of 
these  at  Edward,  a  faithful  band  who  were  working  earnestly  to 
raise  a  fund  with  which  to  begin  the  erection  of  a  church. 

Another  band  of  faithful  workers,  who  for  quite  a  number  of  years 
have  been  most  zealous  in  their  work  for  the  Master,  a  band  whose 
example  we  might  well  emulate  in  many  ways.  The  Parochial  So- 
ciety of  this  old  Parish,  S.  John's,  Bonnerton,  has  given  frequently 
to  worthy  objects,  but  directly  and  not  through  the  Auxiliary,  so 
the  net  proceeds  of  their  labors  have  not  been  shown  in  our  reports. 
This  old  Parish  has  but  17  female  communicants  and  yet  they  have 
18  members  in  their  Society  and  they  are  all  active,  liberal  laborers 
in  the  Master's  vineyard.  A  numerical  strength  that  is  unequal  in 
any  other  Parish  in  the  Convocation. 

At  Oriental  there  are  eight  women  working  together  to  push  for- 
ward this  great  work.  Their  organization  is  of  very  recent  date. 
They  make  no  report  at  this  time. 

The  Auxiliary  at  All  Saints'  Chapel  has  been  organized  but  a  few- 
months.  They  began  with  eleven  members  and  now  number  twenty- 
five.  Their  meetings  are  enthusiastic.  The  Missionary  spirit  is 
very  greatly  in  evidence,  and  their  report  is  most  creditable.  The 
work  which  they  have  accomplished  should  put  us  all  to  thinking 
and  inspire  us  with  renewed  energy  and  a  determination  to  accom- 
plish greater  things  in  the  future. 

I  have  visited  the  Auxiliary  in  Aurora  and  Kinston.  Have  been  to 
Vanceboro  reorganizing  the  Auxiliary  there.  Visited  Oriental,  or- 
ganizing a  branch  there  and  have  reorganized  another  branch  at 
All  Saints'  Chapel,  New  Bern.  I  have  visited  Jasper  talking  to  them- 
of  the  Missionary  work  of  the  Church. 

The  enthusiasm  manifest  at  Vanceboro  and  Oriental,  I  attribute  im 


16  Diocese  of  East  Cabolina. 

a  large  measure  to  the  fact  that  I  visited  these  places  at  such  a 
time  as  Mr.  Matthews,  our  Missionary,  was  conducting  a  series  of 
services  in  the  several  places. 

In  all  places  which  I  have  visited,  I  received  a  most  cordial  wel- 
come for  which  I  again  wish  to  express  my  appreciation. 

In  Aurora,  I  was  present  during  the  meeting  of  the  Convocation. 
A  meeting  which  has  been  fraught  with  benefit.  The  success  of 
this  meeting  was  due,  in  a  large  measure,  to  the  presence  of  our 
beloved  President,  Mrs.  Harding.  One  delegate  was  present,  Miss 
Dail  from  the  Auxiliary  of  Christ  Church,  New  Bern.  She  read  a 
very  interesting  paper  on  the  work  in  China. 

Short  addresses  were  made  by  Rev.  Mr.  Griffith,  Dean  of  the 
Convocation,  who  acted  also  as  Chaplain,  and  by  Rev.  Mr.  Harding. 

My  expenses  to  Aurora  were  $3.40;  to  Vanceboro,  90  cents;  to 
Oriental,  $1.20;  to  Kinston,  $1.70;.  for  stamps  $1.20.  I  have  received 
from  the  Treasurer  of  the  Convocation  of  New  Bern  $3.40,  and  from 
our  Treasurer,  Mrs.  G.  H.  Roberts,  $5.00.  I  have  written  to  all  the 
Auxiliaries  and  other  Societies  of  the  Convocation  of  New  Bern. 
Some  answered  promptly,  others  not  at  all. 

I  wish  to  ask  each  delegate  to  take  this  message  back  to  her 
Auxiliary,  "Please  answer  all  correspondence  promptly."  We  can 
not  keep  up  with  the  work  in  any  other  way.  Do  not  hesitate  to 
write  to  us  for  any  information  you  wish,  relative  to  the  work.  It 
will  afford  us  pleasure  to  aid  you,  at  any  time,  in  any  way,  that 
we  can. 

I  wish  to  call  your  attention  to  the  very  great  need  of  church 
buildings  in  Edward  and  Oriental.  Most  excellent  work  is  being 
done  at  both  places,  under  the  ministrations  of  Mr.  Crosby  and 
Mr.  Malone,  and  we  might  well  think  of  the  needs  of  those  places 
as  we  pray  and  work  during  the  coming  year.  The  branch  of  The 
Woman's  Auxiliary  in  Aurora,  is  endeavoring  to  raise  the  means 
for  building  a  new  church  there. 

The  first  question  in  the  Bible  is  "Where  art  thou?"  Now  where 
do  we  stand?  How  active  is  our  stand?  Are  we  active  laborers  in 
the  vineyard,  doing  with  our  might  this  great  work  which  the 
church  has  allotted  to  us,  the  women  of  the  church? 

The  next  question  is  "Where  is  thy  brother?"  The  Master  re- 
quires them,  not  only  that  we  shall  be  in  our  respective  places  doing 
His  will  but  that  we  shall  see  to  it  that  others  shall  be  apprised 
of  his  bidding,  that  we  shall  lead  them  to  Him,  and  enlist  their 
talents  and  that  together  we  may  labor  that  that  petition  "Thy 
kingdom  come,"  may  be  fulfilled.  In  this  great  work  of  winning 
the  world  for  Christ  we  shall  be  co-laborers  with  Him,  and  if  we 
be  co-laborers  with  Him  then  shall  we  accomplish  great  things  in 
His  name.  Let  us  enter  the  work  willing  to  spend  and  be  spent. 
Let  us  enlist  the  enthusiasm  of  all  the  women  of  the  church,  and 
let  us  have  all  active  workers  in  the  Auxiliary.  Not  20  per  cent., 
nor  30  per  cent.,  but  100  per  cent. 


Woman's  Auxiliary  to  Boakd  of  Missions.         17 

There  are  three  things  we  must  do  as  Auxiliary  workers:  1st, 
pray;  2nd,  work;  3rd,  give.  Don't  you  think  that  very  often  these 
are  reversed?  We  give  as  liberally  of  our  means  as  we  think  we 
can  and  then  feel  our  duty  well  done.  Our  earnest  prayers  are 
worth  more  than  we  often  realize.  If  we  pray  more  earnestly,  we 
will  work  more  arduously  and  give  more  liberally.  Then  my  fellow 
workers  let  us  not  cease  praying;  let  us  not  weary  in  well  doing; 
but  labor  faithfully  and  not  be  content  until  we  see  every  woman  in 
our  own  Parish  taking  her  part  in  this  our  great  work  for  the  Master- 
Respectfully  submitted,

CONVOCATION   OF   WILMINGTON. 

A  year  ago  I  was  appointed  Vice-President  of  the  Convocation  of 
Wilmington.  In  October  I  attended  the  General  Convention  in 
Cincinnati,  where  I  saw  demonstrated  in  force  the  tremendous  ac- 
tivity of  the  woman's  work  of  the  Church. 

In  November  I  attended  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Managers  in 
Williamston. 

There  were  two  meetings  of  the  Convocation  held  during  the 
year;  one  at  Red  Springs  which  I  regret  I  was  unable  to  attend, 
the  other  in  the  Church  of  the  Good  Shepherd,  Wilmington.  There 
was  a  very  full  attendance  and  much  interest  shown. 

A  Woman's  Meeting  was  held  in  St.  Mary's  Church,  Burgaw,  on 
the  day  of  its  consecration.  There  were  a  number  of  delegates 
present,  and  several  very  helpful  papers  were  read. 

A  few  weeks  ago  I  visited  Boardman,  and  formed  an  Auxiliary 
there. 

Another  new  organization  which  we  have  to  report  is  St.  Stephen's 
Auxiliary,  Red  Springs.  Here  the  women  have  given  most  of  their 
time  and  effort  to  raising  funds  for  the  building  and  furnishing  of 
their  beautiful  new  Church. 

The  report  from  Clinton  shows  that  although  the  Church  has 
been  without  a  Rector  for  many  months  during  the  year,  the 
women  there  have  done  faithful  work. 

Splendid  results  have  been  accomplished  in  Fayetteville  and 
Wilmington,  and  better  even  than  the  work  they  have  done,  is  the 
interest  manifested  by  all  their  Branches. 

In  Wilmington  the  all  important  question  of  Mission  Study  has 
been  strongly  emphasized. 

It  is  a  pleasure  to  report  the  enthusiastic  zeal  of  the  members 
of   our  Junior   Organizations. 

In  looking  back  over  the  year's  work  we  can  feel  that  advance  has 
been  made.  The  new  year's  work  comes  to  us  as  a  fresh  call  to 
greater  growth.     The  privilege  of  carrying  it  forward  is  ours. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

MRS.  N.  N.  DAVIS.

SECRETARY'S  REPORT. 

Madam  President  and  Women  of  East  Carolina  Auxiliary: 

It  is  again  my  privilege  to  meet  with  you.  Our  Annual  meeting 
comes  to  us  with  the  necessity  of  recording  changes  in  the  Board 
of  Officers.  Mrs.  John  Gibble,  who  for  some  years  so  faithfully 
and  successfully  led  the  Juniors  has  left  the  Diocese  and  the  resig- 
nation of  Mrs.  C.  B.  Woodley,  Vice-President  of  the  New  Bern  Con- 
vocation is  much  regretted.  Mrs.  H.  M.  Bonner,  of  New  Bern, 
has  been  appointed  by  the  Bishop  to  take  her  place.  We  gladly 
welcome  her  and  Mrs.  W.  E.  Cox,  Recording  Secretary  to  the 
"board  of  officers." 

At  a  meeting  of  officers  during  the  Convocation  of  Edenton,  Mrs. 
Harding  read  a  letter  from  Miss  Emery  in  regard  to  certain  matters 
introduced  in  the  General  report:  1.  That  this  report  be  more  lim- 
ited; 2.  That  those  who  attend  a  Study  Class  in  Cincinnati  will 
begin  that  work  in  the  Diocese  or  Parish;  3.  That  Junior  work  be 
encouraged,  a  special  effort  made  to  reach  older  girls  and  young 
women;  4.  That  it  is  best  still  to  ask  for  the  Woman's  Auxiliary 
and  of  the  Sunday.  School  their  separate  apportionment;  5.  There 
are  special  needs  still  unmet.  St.  Paul's  and  St.  Margaret's,  Tokyo; 
St.  John's,  Shanghai,  are  only  some  of  tne  many  that  claim  some 
one's  thought  and  care;  6.  The  United  Offering  of  1910  is  again 
accompanied  by  the  call  for  a  gift  of  self,  and  will  you  make  that 
of  1913  enable  us  to  send  all  who  will  surely  offer;  7.  Constant 
prayer  for  the  Unity  of  Christ  Church. 

A  more  limited  General  Report  is  desired  and  after  discussing 
the  apportionment  it  was  decided  that  four  hundred  dollars  should 
be  given  towards  General  Missions.  This  sum  has  been  given. 
Gifts  during  the  year  have  been  generous,  those  towards  the  Gen- 
eral Clergy  Relief  Fund  the  largest  yet  received. 

The  closing  of  the  Twenty-fourth  Annual  Meeting  takes  us  to  a 
year  that  should  be  laden  with  thoughts  for  our  "Silver  Anni- 
versary." Cannot  we  make  it  possible  at  that  time  to  gladden  some 
place  with  a  Church  to  teach  our  ways  to  those  who  do  not  know 
them?

THE    REPORT    OF    THE    UNITED    OFFERING    TREASURER. 

Since  making  my  last  report,  our  United  Offering  for  1910  has 
been  presented.  Your  hearts  must  have  been  filled  with  praise  and 
thanksgiving  by  the  part  the  Diocese  of  East  Carolina  took  in  that 
Offering: 

Woman's  Auxiliary    $2,415 .  61 

Junior  Auxiliary   88.14 

Baby  Branch   16.25 

Total    $2,520.00 

St.  James,  Wilmington,  alone  giving  $1,311.65.  The  result  of 
personal  solicitation  and  canvass  of  the  whole  Parish  and  this  is 
why  I  requested  last  October,  each  Branch  of  the  Woman's  Auxiliary 
to  appoint  a  special  office  or  committee  to  look  after  this  work.  If 
any  of  you  have  not  complied  with  my  request,  I  earnestly  beg  that 
you  do  so  at  once.  Wherever  it  has  been  tried  the  results  have 
been  threefold. 

I  have  received  since  last  May  a  total  of  $1,903.06.  This  of  course, 
included  St.  James'  offering.  Of  this  amount  $1,651.23  was  collected 
previous  to  October  1st  and  presented  in  Cincinnati,  leaving  a  bal- 
ance of  $256.83  collected  since  October  1st  and  now  in  the  bank 
credited  to  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  of  East  Carolina  for  the  Offer- 
ing of  1913.  MRS.  JOSH  JAMES. 


2'2  Diocese  of  East  Cakolina. 

REPORT  OF  THE  BABIES'  BRANCH  OF  WOMAN'S  AUXILIARY. 
May,  1910— May,  1911. 

Another  mile  post  has  passed  and  while  our  financial  statement 
shows  a  decrease  for  the  year  I  can  not  but  feel  that  the  interest 
in  the  Babies'  Branch  is  on  the  increase. 

Earnest  letters  have  come  from  many  of  the  leaders  of  the  "Little 
Helpers"  in  the  Diocese  and  if  we  will  but  wait  patiently  I  am 
quite  sure  that  when  we  are  come  together  again  this  earnestness 
will  bear  abundant  fruit.  This  is,  it  must  be  a  most  important  part 
of  our  work.  How  else  can  we  go  on  if  we  do  not  look  carefully 
to  our  beginnings.  And  it  behooves  us  to  pray  for  the  fuller  realiza- 
tion of  what  it  means  to  have  our  Babies  take  their  part  in  the 
work  of  Christ's  Kingdom.

Minutes  of  The  Junior  Department 


The  Junior  Department  of  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  met  in  SL 
John's  Parish  House,  Fayetteville,  N.  C,  Monday  afternoon,  May 
22.  After  a  most  gracious  welcome  given  by  a  little  Junior  Lucy 
London  Anderson,  the  roll  was  called.  Sixteen  visiting  and  eighteen 
home  delegates  were  present.    Mrs.  Harding  then  gave  her  address. 

Before  beginning  the  work  of  our  Junior  meeting,  I  would  call 
to  mind  our  great  loss  in  the  removal  of  our  Secretary  to  another 
Diocese  in  February  last.  The  Bishop  decided  to  wait  until  our 
Annual  Meeting  before  appointing  another  Secretary,  so  as  soon 
as  possible  I  wrote  to  the  Vice-Presidents  asking  them  to  look  after 
the  work  in  their  several  Convocations.  Through  the  enthusiasm  of 
our  former  Secretary  and  the  prompt  work  of  the  Vice-Presidents, 
the  work  has  not  suffered  as  you  will  learn  from  the  reports.  The 
past  year  with  the  great  impetus  given  by  the  General  Convention, 
with  its  conferences  and  Study  Classes,  has  been  a  very  active  one 
in  Junior  circles.  The  interest  aroused  has  caused  one  or  two  pages 
each  month  in  The  Spirit  of  Missions,  to  be  set  apart  for  discussion 
of  Junior  work. 

Among  the  important  subjects  brought  before  us  is  the  selecting 
and  training  of  Junior  Leaders.  How  we  may  attract  and  interest 
the  older  girls,  that  a  united  effort  be  made  to  gather  them  into 
Junior  Branches,  and  by  prayer,  study  and  experience  fit  them  to 
become  members  of  the  Woman's  Auxiliary. 

The  Committee  on  Membership  at  the  General  Convention  stated 
that  while  recognizing  that  by  Baptism  we  are  members  of  the 
Church  and  eligible  as  members  of  the  Auxiliary,  feel  that  it  would 
be  contrary  to  the  Church's  Mission  to  debar  any  child  from  attend- 
ance at  meetings.  They  recommend  that  in  no  case  shall  an  un- 
baptized  child  hold  office  in  a  Parish  Branch  and  that  each  leader 
shall  use  her  influence  to  bring  such  children  to  baptism.  They  also 
recommend  a  closer  union  between  the  Junior  Auxiliary  and  the 
Girls'  Friendly  Society  in  their  missionary  work.  I  hope  the  leaders 
will  discuss  these  subjects  among  themselves,  and  be  ready  with 
the  new  year  to  help  on  the  "Forward  Movement,"  by  making  the 
children  of  the  Church  realize  more  fully  the  need  of  training  by 
Prayer  and  study,  that  they  may  lead  others  to  recognize  the 
Church's  opportunity  to  carry  out  the  command  of  our  Lord  and 
Savior  Jesus  Christ. 

Now  my  dear  children,  a  few  words  to  you,  who  have  come  to  our 
Annual  Meeting  to  represent  your  Parish  Branch  whose  members 
have  been  working  to  bring  into  the  hearts  of  each  other  an  earnest 
interest  in  all  work  for  the  Master,  a  greater  knowledge  of  this 
work  at  home  and  in  foreign  lands,  and  have  been  praying  that  we 
might  do  our  part  in  this  work,  even  to  the  giving  of  ourselves. 


Woman's  Auxiliary  to  Board  of  Missions.         41 

By  being  a  delegate  proves  that  you  have  been  a  faithful  member 
of  your  branch,  and  I  hope  each  one  of  you  will  carry  home  some 
new  and  helpful  idea,  that  will  encourage  and  cheer  your  leader, 
and  make  your  work  for  the  next  year  broader  and  stronger. 
Affectionately, 

MRS.  NATHANIEL  HARDING.

CONSTITUTION. 


ARTICLE  I.  The  name  of  this  Society  shall  be  "The  Woman's 
Auxiliary  to  the  Board  of  Missions  and  Parochial  Society  of  the 
Diocese  of  East  Carolina. 

ART.  II.  The  object  of  this  Society  is,  by  means  of  united  and 
systematic  effort,  to  arouse  greater  interest  in  Parochial  work, 
and  especially  to  diffuse  Missionary  intelligence,  to  increase  Mis- 
sionary activity  among  the  women  of  the  Diocese,  to  unite  pre- 
viously existing  Societies  and  to  encourage  the  formation  of  So- 
cieties where  there  are  none. 

ART.  III.  The  Church  itself  is  the  Missionary  Society,  and  every 
person  by  baptism  becomes  a  member  of  this  Society;  therefore, 
every  baptized  woman  in  this  Diocese  is  a  member  of  this  Society. 

ART.  IV.  The  officers  of  this  Society  shall  be  a  President,  three 
Vice-Presidents,  Treasurer,  Secretary  and  such  other  officers  as 
may  be  needed;  all  of  whom  shall  be  appointed  by  the  Bishop,  and 
shall  constitute  the  Board  of  Managers.  The  Board  of  Managers 
shall  meet  from  time  to  time  at  the  call  of  the  President.  The 
Secretary  of  the  Junior  Auxiliary  shall  be  a  member  of  the  Board  of 
Managers. 

ART.  V.  The  President  shall  call  meetings  together,  and  shall 
preside  over  them  and  shall  also  do  whatever  in  her  judgment  is 
best  to  advance  the  work  of  the  Society. 

ART.  VI.  The  Senior  Vice-President  shall  preside  over  the  meet- 
ings during  the  absence  of  the  President.  Each  Vice-President  shall 
be  President  of  the  Society  in  her  Convocation.  If  the  Vice-Presi- 
dent or  Secretary  of  a  Convocation,  shall  be  invited  to  visit  a 
Branch,  said  Branch  shall  pay  her  traveling  expenses.  If  the  Vice- 
President  or  Secretary  goes  into  a  Parish  or  Mission  to  establish 
a  new  Branch  her  expenses  shall  be  paid  by  the  Convocation  which 
she  represents. 

ART.  VII.  The  duty  of  the  Secretary  is  to  prepare  an  annual 
report  for  circulation  in  the  Diocese  and  to  conduct  the  correspond- 
ence of  the  Society  with  Missionaries,  and  with  the  Secretary  of 
the  Woman's  Auxiliary  to  the  Board  of  Missions.  She  shall  give 
notice  of  all  meetings,  keep  record  of  such  meetings,  and  prepare 
an  abstract  of  the  minutes  to  be  read  at  the  annual  meeting. 

ART.  VIII.  The  duty  of  the  Treasurer  is  to  take  charge  of  all 
money  sent  to  her  for  Missionary  purposes  and  to  disburse  the 
same,  as  directed  by  the  Parish  or  Mission  sending  or  by  the 
Board  of  Managers.  She  shall  prepare  a  report  at  the  annual 
meeting  of  all  money  which  has  passed  through  her  hands  during 
the  preceding  year. 


Woman's  Auxiliary  to  Board  of  Missions.         47 

ART.  IX.  All  Parochial  Branches  of  the  Woman's  Auxiliary,  the 
Junior  Department  and  Babies'  Branch,  together  with  all  Woman's 
Parochial  organizations  shall  be  entitled  to  one  representative, 
except  when  such  Branches  or  organizations  shall  be  composed  of 
twenty  or  more  members  they  shall  then  be  entitled  to  two  repre- 
sentatives. And  all  Diocesan  officers  of  this  organization  shall  be 
ex-officio  representatives. 

ART.  X.  The  Annual  Meeting  shall  be  held  at  each  Council  of 
the  Diocese,  and  general  meetings  may  be  held  at  such  other  times 
and  places  as  may  be  designated  by  the  Bishop  of  the  Diocese  and 
the  President  of  the  Society. 

ART.  XI.  The  Society  shall  be  divided  into  three  sections  accord- 
ing to  the  territory  comprised  in  the  three  Convocations  of  the 
Diocese.  Each  section  shall  meet  at  least  once  a  year  in  connection 
with  the  regular  meetings  of  the  Convocation.
